Here in Texas you have to be 18 to buy, and you my be charged with contributing to the delinquency (sp?) of a minor, I'm not sure. Don't feel bad
about it though. If it has concerned you enough to post it, I think you have answered your question

. I'll be 37 Sunday after Thanksgivig, been
smokin' since age 20, and I too regret every minute of it

I started smoking at 11. And 11 all the way up to 18, I had the hardest time getiing tobacco.

One of my friends that I work with, tonight, he asked me if I would buy him some camel's. I asked him how old he was, and he replied "16".

I thought about it for a second, and remembered how hard it was for me to get smokes. So, I went and bought them for him.

Was what I did bad? And is it a felony or a misdeameanor?

I'm not sure how old you are, and i've also been a smoker since 14 or 15, but its kind of wrong, Whether or not the kid seem responsible enough
isnt' the case, but what matters is that you might be held accountable for your actions.

The way i see it is they have plenty of years ahead of them to ruin their health with alcohol and ciggerates, Now i don't feel what you did was evil
or malicious in anyway whatsoever, but seriously you not buying them ciggaretes might of taken them one step closer to quiting.

of course this comes from a person who has been guilty of the same thing in the past.

its just my view point has changed, Its cool that you respect this person enough that you would go ahead and do this for them. but like i said they
will have plenty of years ahead of them if they are willing to wait that they will be able to do it all they want.
